2020 Ford Flex

The 2020 Ford Flex is a full-size crossover utility vehicle (CUV) that sits between the Ford Explorer and the Ford Expedition within the Ford lineup. Capable of seating up to seven passengers, the Ford Flex is one of the longest utility vehicles sold by the Ford Motor Company.

When it was first released in 2009, its goal was to offer all the convenience of a minivan in a more youthful and utilitarian design, all while paying homage to the “Woodie” station wagons of the past. The Ford Flex is regarded today as being one of the first crossover vehicles, currently the most lucrative automotive category.

Changes, Updates, New Features

With the presence of the 2020 Ford Explorer and recently updated Ford Expedition, it is currently unclear if the Flex will continue to exist beyond the 2020 model year. Except for a few notable changes such as a mild facelift, the vehicle is virtually unchanged since it was first launched in 2009.

Exterior

The Flex’ styling is halfway between that of a sport utility vehicle and a large station wagon, with a clean, boxy and utilitarian look.

Bold FLEX stamping above the front grille.

Flex Limited sets itself apart from the rest of the Flex lineup with unique 19-inch wheels and full-LED headlights.

Available black-painted roof, mirrors and wheels.

Interior

Six (2+2+2) or seven (2+3+2) passenger seating.

Full length glass roof allows for a well-lit and airy cabin.

Available Sony 12 speaker sound system with subwoofer.

Second-Row 60/40 bench seat with Autofold feature.

Body Styles

The Ford Flex is a full-size crossover that comes in only one body style no matter which trim level is selected. Total number of doors is five including the hatch. However, unique styling cues are applied to the Flex Limited model to distinguish it from the rest of the Flex lineup.
